Adopt a publisher
I am not talking like a pirate at you today. In return for this courtesy, I would like a small favor.
There is language rattling around in Congress that would destroy the NIH Public Access Policy. The actual bill introduced by Conyers is probably moribund if not dead. The concern now, as I understand matters, is that the anti-NIH language could be snuck into another bill.
The Open Access Directory is doing its part in a way that will help us all, no matter what it accomplishes in the Congressional wrangle. OAD has a page of publisher policies vis-a-vis the NIH Public Access Policy, and they are asking us all to investigate a publisher (one with “No known policy as of…”) and update the page.
Robin Peek asked me to publicize this effort, which I am most happy to do.
